First…Third…What About Second?

I often hear people talk about Third World countries. I occasionally hear people talk about First World countries. I don’t recall ever hearing anything about Second World countries. Are there Second World countries? Or are Third World countries just so bad that they aren’t considered just one step down from First World countries, so theyContinue reading “First…Third…What About Second?”

Pump It Up

When I’m not stopping my total gas purchase on a number pattern, I like to try to let off the pump at a predetermined total. I know that I can’t possibly be the only who does…in fact, if I had to guess I would say that about 92.6% of all gas pumpers have tried thisContinue reading “Pump It Up”

Have I Really Reached You?

Why do people say on their voicemail/answering machine message “You have reached ______”? That doesn’t seem like an accurate statement. If I had reached you I wouldn’t have to leave a message. In fact, I am leaving you a message because I couldn’t reach you. You know what? Forget it. I’m not leaving a message.Continue reading “Have I Really Reached You?”

Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?

If you ever see me looking down at my watch for an inordinate amount of time it’s probably not because I have somewhere important to be or because I have forgotten how to read time. If you see me having a staring contest with my watch it’s probably because I am waiting to see aContinue reading “Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?”

I Liked Diet Coke Once

I took a sip of Daphne’s Diet Coke the other day and it reminded me of the day that I liked Diet Coke. I’m not sure what year it was, but I know that I was in elementary school. My Grandpa Baumann, Uncle Johnny, cousin Matt and I went to the lake for an overnightContinue reading “I Liked Diet Coke Once”

Delayed Smells

Have you ever noticed that when you drive by a dead skunk it never seems to smell when you are right next to it? Or maybe a more pleasant smell would be burning leaves. It seems you can never smell them as you are passing through the cloud of smoke. Only after you drive downContinue reading “Delayed Smells”

Ice Cube Trays Are Relaxing

Next time you are stressed out try this. Wait until no one else is around (gone, asleep, etc.) and get all the ice cube trays out of the freezer. If they aren’t empty already, empty them out and stack them beside the sink. Turn the water on, but way down. It should be only theContinue reading “Ice Cube Trays Are Relaxing”

More Mixed Up Than A Dyslexic Spelling Bee

I had a lot of time to think today. This is the saying that I thought up. Why such things invade my brain I have no idea. Haven’t posted anything on here in a while. This is the best I could come up with. Appreciate it. Or make fun of me. Either way.

What Else Did God Make?

I wonder if there is life anywhere else that we haven’t discovered yet. Maybe it is a whole other planet of humans or something else equivalent to humans. Or maybe they are more or less advanced than we are. Who knows, but why be so quick to rule out the possibility? To me that justContinue reading “What Else Did God Make?”

What Is “Real”?

What if our “dreams” are reality, and our “reality” is just a dream? Would that mean that we can choose when to take a break from our dreams and enter into reality? I suppose that would also mean that we have no control over when we dream and take a break from reality. What ifContinue reading “What Is “Real”?”
